To all whom it may. concern.

Be it'known 'that I, PETER J. NAGLE, a citizen of the United'States, and resident of the city of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper or Paper-Board, of which the following is a specification.

, The present invention relates to paper or paper board, and an object of the, invention is to provide a paper or paper board which, when formed into a container or receptacle of any sort, will communicate to the contents a desirable aroma. Another object of the invention is to provide a paper or paper board free from impurities and adapted to act to keep away insects or other germs from material inclosed by the paper or paper board. Still another object of the invention is to provide a paper colored to simulate cedar wood by a substance which will not affect articles inclosed by the paper, but which will, instead, impart to articles such as tobacco a desirable flavor or aroma. A still further object of the invention is to provide for incorporation within the paper a waterproofing substance which also tends to set the color when the paper is dry.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of the features hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Previous to this invention it has been suggested to coat and to saturate paper or paper board with substances which will act as an insecticide for articles which may be wrapped or inclosed by the paper or paper board. Not only does this necessitate the separate steps of saturating and coating the paper or paper board, but the paper or paper board must afterward be dried, which increases the cost of manufacturing the paper.

According to this invention cedar oil' which is an aroma producing substance and also an insecticide is added to the paper pulp while the latter is in the digester or beater,

the oil being first mixed with a suitable substance in order to form an emulsion'so that it will thoroughly mix with the paper pulp. By this arrangement the oil is intimately incorporated within the paper or paper board, thus not only eliminating the coating and dryingxsteps, but .making it possible to maintain t e effect of the substance within the stock for a longer time, not only because of flpecification of Letters Patent.

the intimate mixture, but because of the calenderlng process which occurs after the substances have been mixed with the pulp.

To form an emulsion from cedar oil the latter is mixed with sugar, so that water may.

be added to produce the emulsion. emulslon maybe improved alcohol, or both, are added to the sugar and cedar oil before the addition of water. It has also been found that the. aroma of tobacco will be still further improved if licorlce is added to the compound, and to this end the water which is used to produce the emulsion is first employed for dissolving powdered locorice. This licorice also acts to color the paper to simulate the color of cedar wood, and, if desired, a small amount of coloring matter, such as anilin brown, may be added to the licorice in solution. To set the color obtained from the licorice and the coloring matter, glycerin may be added to the cedar oil and sugar. This glycerin also tends to give waterproofing qualities to the paper or paper board. The sugar, in addition to producing an emulsion, tends to sweeten the tobacco inclosed bythe paper. It is preferred to use the following propor- The if vinegar or tions of the above-mentioned ingredients:

Water 25% Cedar oi1 25% Sugar 15% Licorice 10% Vinegar 101% Alcohol 10% Glycerin 5% will, at the same time, hold the compound for an indefinite time. The calendering process tends to form a surface on the paper which retards the escape of the aroma.

The paper or paper board made in accordance with this invention is especially adapted for use in or for making containers which will communicate to their contents a desiroil, while ermitting'such aroma to be abable aroma. The specific ingredients named sorbed by t 1e contents of the container.

give a paper which is especlally desirable for What I claim as my invention and desire holding tobacco or tobacco articles, such as 5 cigars and cigarettes. The oil is so incorporated in the pulp that it is held longer than by coating or saturation. The licorice is held in the same way and at the same time acts as a coloring matter for the pa er, making it unnecessary to coat or line a 0x interiorly or exteriorly. The sugar sweetens the contents of the containers and at the same time permits the oil to be mixed with the pulp. The cedar oil and alcohol kill impurities in the paper stock in the beaterand the glycerin acts to water-proof the material while also setting the color. The materials used in the manufacture of the paper for setting the color of the paper also set the aroma of the licorice and the cedar to secure by Letters Patent is 1.
